A Sacred Foundation

Hundreds of thousands of home school spouses have discovered something-maintaining an excellent marriage is tough! As if the normal pressures of life weren't enough, parents who choose the incredible benefits of home schooling soon discover that an entirely new level of intensity is added to their marriage.

It's far too easy to focus only on the children while neglecting the very foundation of the home school-a rock solid marriage based on the only Firm Foundation. Sadly, some have given in to these pressures and are now shipwrecked on the rocks of life. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can enjoy the awesome rewards of home schooling and have a first-rate, fulfilling marriage. But, like anything of lasting value, it won't happen by itself.

Farris and Elam take you step-by-step through the issues you will face (or in which you now find yourself ensconced) as a home schooling spouse. For men and women, A Sacred Foundation gives you the "hands on" practical tools and guidelines that will lead you to a place of true love and fulfillment amidst the great challenge and reward of home schooling.
